A second Arsenal corner as Alexis Sanchez's attempt to cross is stubbed out, Santi Cazorla curls the ball in but the busy Troy Deeney is back to head away.

Shohidur Rahman: Watford are a proper old school side. Two banks of four then the two up front linking with each other. Like it.

Watford look like they have goals in them, but the stats suggest they don't. Not at home anyway.

Four games played at Vicarage Road in the Premier League this season by the hosts and they have scored just the one goal. They have only conceded one, mind. This might not be as easy as Arsenal fans may have thought prior to kick off.

"Great build-up play from Watford, but I must give Koscielny praise. It was a great goal-saving sliding interception, just putting Deeney's cross behind for a corner."

Danger, danger! Suddenly Arsenal are caught out at the back and it is two against one with Troy Deeney leading the charge, he attempts to square the ball to Odion Ighalo, all alone on the far side of the area, but the pass is cut out by Laurent Koscielny. If he messed that up, it was 1-0 Watford, no doubt.

The Arsenal defence is getting a bit of a workout as Odion Ighalo pulls the ball back from the right side of the area for Ikechi Anya in the middle of the box. 

He stops the ball and then flicks it to the feet of Troy Deeney, but he can't get his shot off in time before Hector Bellerin moves in to clear.

Watford will be happy with how things are going at the moment. A quarter of an hour in and it is still goalless. Manchester United were 2-0 down at the same stage against the Gunners last time out...

"Deeney is great at hassling defenders, unsettling them and winning the ball back for his team."

Having said that, a warning for Arsenal as Troy Deeney shrugs off his marker and has a go from just outside the box, but Petr Cech is behind the shot.

There's a good chance this possession graphic might not change much as the game goes on. 

Arsenal certainly look determined to build on their win against Manchester United and Heurelho Gomes looks set for a busy afternoon as he is tested from range by Alexis Sanchez, palming away the Chilean's stinging effort.

Watford are certainly making sure Arsenal have as little time on the ball as possible, moving quickly to close down the man in possession. 

A loose ball squirms out to Santi Cazorla just outside the area, but his long-range effort is charged down and blocked.

The Gunners go a little closer soon after as Aaron Ramsey clips a smart ball into the area for Theo Walcott, it falls just in front of the forward but Heurelho Gomes is quick off his line to pluck the ball from the air.

An early corner for Arsenal as Nyom heads a cross behind. It is little more than catching practice for Heurelho Gomes, though.

Arsenal kick things off, and away we go. 

They had scored three goals against Manchester United inside the first 20 minutes last-time out, will they make a similar start to this game?

Hugh Laurie, I mean Quique Sanzhez Flores, gives some last-minute instructions to Odion Ighalo. 

Almost time for kick-off.

"The midfield battle is so important. If Watford can stifle Arsenal in the middle of the pitch then the Hornets might be able to stop the service to Theo Walcott."

A proud moment for Watford's Troy Deeney as he leads the Watford team out holding his son's hand. Deeney junior is the Hornets' mascot for today's game.
